Comment:

 Also, something I noticed:

 The importer replaces conflicting attachment URLs only once... meaning
 that on imports of new posts with an attachment that's already imported,
 the URL doesn't change and remains pointed to the original image on the
 original site.

 My patch (my fourth one ever! so don't expect too much) has a similar
 problem -> If the post or page is reimported, and the image isn't
 reuploaded, the post's featured image data is overwritten and the problem
 resumes. I honestly don't know how to fix this.

 This is hard to explain. It might not be a problem, considering that most
 people probably import another wordpress blog only once and don't try
 again.
